PREFACE.
SOME five years ago I undertook to prepare for publication
the records of men who had belonged to Wadham College.
Beginning with the foundation of the College, and continuing
to 1881, I found that I had gathered over 6,000 names. The
question then arose, by what standard should I determine
who were Wadham men ? Should I confine myself to the
members of the Foundation, or should I include Commoners ?
Should I be guided by the University Matriculation Registers,
or limit my list to Graduates ? Should I depend on the
College Admission Registers as far as they existed, or the
more complete but very confused records of Cautions de-
posited with the College ? I soon, found that no one standard
would do. Several of the most eminent men were never on
the Foundation. A very large number resided and paid
Caution without matriculating, a still larger number without
graduating. Many members of the Foundation never paid
Caution money, and the Admission Registers have large gaps
in them. I have therefore determined to include all the
names that I could collect whether from University or College
records, whether as matriculating, graduating, residing, or
paying Caution. And if in such a list I shall seem at times
to have claimed for Wadham men whose careers belong more
properly to other Colleges or the sister University, I shall

have at least wronged no writers save Dr. Bloxam and
Mr. Boase (to whose records of Magdalen and Exeter men
I am much indebted, not merely for information, but also for
example), and shall not be sorry if my work stirs up the
historians of other Colleges to vindicate their claims to some
of those who are here set down as Wadham men.
In tracing the careers of men after leaving the University,
the numerous histories of the English counties, especially
Dorset, Devon, and Somerset, have been searched ; and when
other clues failed, Marshall's Genealogist's Guide has often
suggested fresh sources of information. Much material has
also been gathered from the publications of the Harleian
Society, the Camden Society, and the Oxford Historical
Society. Weaver's Somersetshire Incumbents, from which
many valuable suggestions were obtained, only appeared
after my early sheets were in type. Foster's Alumni
Oxonienses hardly touches the period contained in this
volume.
The best thanks of all interested in this kind of work are
due to the Warden and Fellows of Wadham College for the
courtesy with which they placed all their records at my
disposal, and I would express my own gratitude for the
kindness and hospitality which they extended to me during
my frequent visits to Oxford, whereby the toil of this duty
of piety is associated with many pleasant memories. I must
also beg the numerous clergy who have searched Registers
and copied monuments for me, particularly throughout the
county of Somerset, to accept this grateful acknowledgment
of the services which they have rendered to the work. And
I would express my thanks to Sir Albert Woods, Garter, not

only for giving me access to the Sussex Collections (MS.) of
my late uncle, William Courthope, Somerset Herald, but also
for his readiness to furnish me with help from the valuable
MS. Collections of Pedigrees preserved in the College of
Arms.
I must mention that the work has grown in bulk far
beyond what I originally contemplated, for I had hoped that
one volume would contain all the 6,000 names and some
Appendices to boot on the Wadham family, the Endowment
and Estates, the Buildings, Benefactors, Servants, Library,
Plate and Pictures, &c.
Now I will only add that should this record of a hundred
years of Wadham commend itself to those interested in
University history, I will endeavour at some future time to
make use of the large collections which I have already
gathered so as to carry on the work for another century and
a half.
In a work consisting so largely of names and dates it is
scarcely possible to avoid some errors, and perhaps some
identifications may appear to be based on insufficient grounds.
I can only say that I have endeavoured to place strict limits
on my conjectures, and to give each name and date as nearly
as possible as it stands in the original authority; so that,
with confidence in my own efforts to be strictly honest in the
use of my materials, I commit the general result to the
charity of students.

INTRODUCTION.
WADHAM COLLEGE was founded by Nicholas Wadham, of
Meri field, in the county of Somerset, and Dorothy his wife,
daughter of Sir William Petre, of Writtle, in the county of
Essex. Being the last male of an ancient and wealthy stock,
seated in Devonshire from the reign of Edward I., Nicholas
desired while leaving the Wadham estates to his natural heirs,
his sisters and their descendants, to secure the perpetuation
of his family name by founding the " Collegium Wadhami "
out of his private fortune. It is said that it was at first
intended to establish a college at Venice for the reception of
English students ; but however this may have been, Nicholas
Wadham had changed his purpose before his death, and
resolved to establish in the University of Oxford, where he
had himself been at one time a Fellow Commoner either of
Christ Church or of Corpus Christi College, "Collegium
pauperum et indigentium Scholarium ad laudem, gloriam et
honorem Omnipotentis Dei, bonarum litterarum incrementum
ac communem hujus regni utilitatem." With this end in view
he endeavoured to acquire the site of Gloucester Hall (now
Worcester College), but he died before the completion of the
purchase, having intrusted the fulfilment of his design to
his widow. Failing to secure the ground selected by her
husband, Dorothy Wadham purchased of the citizens of
Oxford the site of Austin Friars ; and having obtained
Letters Patent from King James I. (dated 20 December,
1610) she proceeded to erect upon it the buildings
which still stand there, almost unchanged, and which form
perhaps the most uniform and perfect specimen of collegiate
architecture in the University.
On the 16th August, 1612, she put forth the statutes of
the college, and on the 20th April. 1613, the Society was
constituted by the admission of the Warden, Fellows and
INTRODUCTION.
Scholars nominated by the Foundress. At this time the
building must have been nearly finished ; the chapel was
consecrated on the 29th April, 1613. The building comprised
a chapel with ante-chapel, a hall and kitchen with library
over it and numerous chambers, of which a further account
will be found in the Appendix.
The Foundress continued to direct the management of
the college in many respects until her death in 1618.
THE STATUTES
state that the college is founded for a Warden, fifteen
Fellows, as many Scholars, two " Capellani in sacris ordinibus
constituti," two " Clerici," an Obsonator, two Cooks, two
Butlers and a Porter. The Fellows were allowed to study in
any faculty, but the Warden was required to proceed to the
degree of Doctor of Divinity within a year of his election.
A Fellow might retain his fellowship for eighteen years from
his regency as M.A. ; a Scholar might remain in his place if
he wished for twelve years after taking his degree of M.A.
Three of the Scholars were to be taken from the county of
Somerset and three from Essex: and by a subsequent
ordinance the Foundress directed that persons of Founder's
kin, if fit, should have a preference in elections, provided
that tliere should not be more than three Fellows and three
Scholars of Founder's kin at the same time in the college.
Commoners and Batellars might be admitted to reside in the
college, but their tutors must give a bond of 10 for the
payment of the pupils' Battels. A Commoner was to give
twenty shillings or a silver cup on his admission ; a Batellar
ten shillings. Pupils were not to take the College Oath
before the age of fifteen. The Bishop of Bath and Wells
for the time being was appointed Visitor, with the power of
visiting once in five years or oftener on the requisition of the
Warden and Seniors.
COLLEGE OFFICERS.
These were originally eight in number besides the Warden,
viz. Sub-Warden, Dean, two Bursars, Humanity Lecturer,
Catechist, Moderator of Philosophy and Sub-Dean : to these
was added a Librarian in 1618 ; and in 1623 " a new class
INTRODUCTION.
was constituted of the Inferior Class of Sophisters/' and a
tenth officer (Moderator Novae Classis) was elected, appar-
ently to assist the Sub-Dean. All the original offices were
held almost invariably by Fellows, except that of Sub-Dean,
which was generally held by a graduate Scholar or Probationer
Fellow ; the Librarian was always a Fellow ; the Moderator
Novae Classis, was generally a Scholar, but occasionally
a Commoner : this latter officer was appointed annually till
1640, and again from 1666 to 1689, after which date the
records of elections cease for a time. The other officers con-
tinued to be appointed nominally each December, but in the
middle of the last century a custom grew up of allowing some
or all of them to act by deputy, so that at times three or
four Fellows (and even two) were executing all the offices,
the nominal holders being non-resident, and only coming up
for Elections and other business. All the officers were
nominated by the Foundress as long as she lived. Sub-
sequently they were elected annually on St. Nicholas Day,
6th December. The officers then elected served therefore
for the year following their date of election, or if we observe
the Old Style, for the last three months of the year of election
and nine months of the subsequent year. The Bursars
seem generally to have each executed the duties of their office
for half the year.
At first most of the offices changed hands annually, and
were rarely held for more than two consecutive years ; and
even when it was seen to be desirable to secure more con-
tinuity in the working of the college, this was obtained by
the above system of deputies, the officers being still nominally
changed.
THE RECORDS.
In dealing with the records of Wadham, it is necessary to
break up the subject into Periods.
The First of these Periods will extend from the opening of
the college in 1613 to the end of the Civil War, about 1647 ;
this will include the time of the first five Wardens.
The Second Period will be from 1647 to 1659, the reign of
Warden Wilkins : during part of which time the University
was under the rule of the Parliamentary Visitors.
The Third Period will run from 1659 to 1689, and include
the reigns of Wardens Blandford and Ironside.
xiv INTRODUCTION.
The Fourth Period extends from 1689 to 1738, the reigns
of Wardens Dunster, Baker and Thistlethwayte.
The Fifth Period is from 1738 to 1806; the time of
Wardens Lisle, Wyndham, Gerard and Wills.
The Sixth Period is from 1806 to 1881 : the time of
Wardens Tournay, Symons and Griffiths.
Of these Periods the first three and part of the fourth are
included in the present volume.
For the First Period then (16131647) the documents
available are :
A. The Register of Foundationers.
B. Liber sive registrum continens nomina Primorum
Gardiani, Sociorum, Scholarium, Capellanorum et Clericorum
Collegii Wadhami : omnium etiam Commensalium et
Battelariorum a prima fundatione admissorum.
C. The College Caution Books.
M. The College Convention Books.
And these are supplemented by the University Subscrip-
tion Book, University Matriculation Register, and the Lists
of Graduates.
Two books containing the names of the occupants of the
chambers in college are also extant for this period ; but
they are far from complete, and after the war began the
entries are very irregular.
Of these documents the Foundation Register (A) is
complete and apparently contemporaneous ; B was compiled
in 1636, probably by Warden Estcot: it may have been
based on early Caution Books, but I can find no clue as to
his authority for the lists from 1613 1636 : though they
correspond in part with the existing Caution Books and
the University Matriculations.
The Caution Books (C) profess to date from the foundation
of the college, but the entries as to Commoners and Fellow
Commoners appear to be only commenced regularly from the
Bursarship of Osborne and Anketill (16201621). I am
inclined however to think that the book was first kept
regularly by Bursars Estcot and Payton (16211622), and that
all Cautions then in the Bursars' hands were prefixed to
the record : at any rate the first entries as to Batellars'
Cautions were made by these Bursars. The earliest note
of the restoration of a Caution, apparently in Estcot's hand-
writing, is dated January 1621. The entries are continued
INTRODUCTION.
xv
steadily till 1642, after which there are no entries till
16461647.
The entries in the Convention Book (M) though brief
are complete from the Foundation.
The University Subscription Book contains nothing but
bare names ; and no Matriculations are recorded at Wadham
till 1615, under which year there are seven entries, just as
the first volume of the Kegister comes to an end; from
October 13th, 1615, the entries continue regularly through
the other volumes. But it must be observed that during
the Civil War (1642 1647) neither the College nor University
Books appear to have been kept at all carefully.
With the Second Period (16471659) an entire change
takes place in the documents available. A, which during the
Civil War has become somewhat irregular is again complete,
noting the decrees of the Parliamentary Visitors. B on the
contrary ceases entirely. The Caution Books (G) and other
College accounts were re-arranged by the intruded Fellows and
kept on a new plan. Lee and Lawrence recommence entries
in the Caution Book, 18 October, 1648, but it remains in
great confusion till 1652. Webber and Morland (chosen
Bursars 6th December, 1652) wrote out a list of all Cautions
received since 1648, which still were remaining in their
hands, and from this date the entries are regularly made till
1697. The records of Admission Fees commence in Lee's
Bursarship (1653 54) and are continued till 1698.
The various Bursars' Books (D) now become useful,
supplying lists, sometimes of Foundationers, sometimes of
Officers. M ceases altogether, and regular entries are not
resumed till the election of Blandford to the Wardenship
in 1659 : but on March 7, 1653, " It was ordered by the
Society that the former Orders agreed upon at several
times scattered in loose papers be registered and kept
together in this book," i.e. a small vellum-covered book
in which there are a few entries varying in date from
16501658.
The University Register of Matriculations is at this time
very unsatisfactory. "From 1647 to 1649 there seems to
have been no record of Matriculations at all, if indeed there
were any. Thus when the Bedell appointed by the Visitors
began to register Matriculations in 1649, having had no
experience, nor any former book to serve as a model, he made
INTRODUCTION.
the serious mistake of omitting to enter the age and the
place of birth against the names of those who were matricu-
lated during the period of the Commonwealth" (Burrows)
In fact he seems to have only cared to note the fee paid,
which as it depended on the status of the parent leads him to
enter that information in his Register.
The Chamber Books also contain entries for this period ;
and an endeavour was made to introduce a new system of
keeping this record, but it was soon dropped.
For the Third Period (16591689),
A continues to be well kept : but B is only kept from
16591668.
C. The Caution Books profess to be complete for this
period.
M is kept for the whole of this period.
The Matriculation Registers of the University begin to be
kept in the old form in March, 16f.
For the Fourth Period as far as it is included in this
volume (1689 1719) there is a sad lack of records, for A is
only kept up to 1694, B is a blank, nor are there any entries
in the Convention Book; fortunately however the Caution
Books profess to be complete for this period, the only blank
being from Midsummer 1697 to Christmas 1698, and even
for that time there is a record of Admission fees.
Some help also can be obtained towards filling up this
gap from the various Bursars' Books (Z>), preserved in the
Muniment room.
For the First Period then (16131647) I have printed
the names mainly as they stand in B ; that is I have placed
under each year the names of the Socii Commen sales, Com-
mensales and Batellarii. To these I have occasionally
prefixed the name of any member of the Foundation whose
admission is recorded in A and not in B.
The list thus made is supplemented by, (1) names which
occur in the College Caution Books, (2) names which occur
in the University Matriculation Register, (3) names of
persons whose connection with the college is not otherwise
recorded than that they are stated to have graduated from
Wadham, (4) names which occur in the List of Pupils, the
Chamber Books, the Burial Register or any other docu-
ments, and who stood in various relations to the college. I
have not included the names of College servants, for I had
INTRODUCTION.
intended to have an Appendix to contain the names of
Privilegiati and Servientes.
It will be observed at once how many men entered at
the college (some even as Foundationers) without graduating,
and further that numbers of men appear in the College
Registers without matriculating, or matriculate without
being entered on the Registers, and some appear even to
graduate without having matriculated : some names appear
only in the Caution Books, while at the same time it is often
ascertained that these men kept residence from the Chamber
Books or some entry as to Battels.
It is obvious that since B has no entries for the Second
Period (1647 1659) a new system must be here adopted for
arranging the names. I should have chosen to adopt the
order in the Caution Books, but at this time the entries are
very much confused. The six intruded Fellows who with the
new Warden managed the college, seem with the exception
of Lee to have been hopelessly unsystematic : and Lee had
an arrangement of his own which no succeeding Bursars took
the trouble to carry out.
On the whole therefore, after using the Register of
Foundationers (A) I propose in this period to arrange the
names as they stand in the University Matriculation Book
and to supplement the lists so made from the Caution Books,
List of Graduates, &c.
For the early part of the Third Period, covering nearly the
Wardenship of Blandford, I am able to return to the
use of the College Registers, and to print the names in the
order there given, supplementing them from the same sources
as in the First period : but after the entries cease in B I am
obliged to fall back again upon the University Matriculation
Registers for the order, only prefixing to each year the names
of members of the Foundation, and such others as are found
in the Caution Books, but are not recorded as matriculating.
And for the Fourth Period .(16891719) in the scarcity
of College records I am almost entirely dependent on the
Matriculation Registers supplemented from the Caution
Books.
If therefore full information is obtained about a man, his
name is followed by his status in college, and his county,
and sometimes by a reference to his parentage from Register
B ; then comes the notice of his matriculation, given in Latin
b
INTRODUCTION.
from the University Registers : next the date of his payment
of Caution Money, which is sometimes " restored " to him,
sometimes " taken up for Battels " and occasionally " paid
over" to some Fellow, presumably his tutor or to some
other person : sometimes the Caution is " replaced " and
" restored " more than once : next if he became a member of
the Foundation comes the notice of his admission from
Register A, with a further entry as to his age and place of
birth or residence, sometimes confirmatory, sometimes con-
tradictory of the former entry : then come the dates of a man's
several degrees : next, if on the Foundation his admission to a
Fellowship and the College offices which he held (from M).
To these are subjoined any further facts connected with his
name while he was at Oxford : such as the chambers which
he occupied successively, his leaves of absence &c. Where it
has been possible to trace a man's subsequent career, the
information has been added in small type, together with the
names of any works of which he was the author; and in
some cases a statement is appended showing the relationship
which existed with other Wadham men, together with a
reference to any pictures in the possession of the college.
As this record contains the names of all men who have
entered college, it will naturally be found that in many
cases only one or two of the above-mentioned notices can be
given : but in the cases of Members of the Foundation the
record is tolerably complete. The notes as to the chambers
occupied by distinguished men are interesting, as the rooms
are still almost identical with those here referred to ; the
dates of " leave of absence " during the Civil War are fully
given in order that they may be compared with the move-
ments of the Bang's Army. In the matter of the restoration
of Cautions too often only the day of the month is entered
without the year, and even if the Bursar's name be added
it is often impossible to say to which of his periods of office the
entry is to be referred.
In conclusion, let me express a hope that this record will
show that the " Foundation of Nicholas Wadham and
Dorothy his wife " has not fallen short of the end which they
set before them when they established a College " for the
glory and honour of Almighty God, the promotion of sound
learning and the advantage of this realm."

With regard to dates, it must be remembered that, accord-
ing to the Old Style, the year began on 25th March ; so that
for the first three months of a year a double date is often
used : while sometimes the entries were made according to
the Old Style, and sometimes according to the New. These
irregularities have been carefully observed. When ? is
attached to a date, it is a conjecture of the Editor's.
Similarly the names of places have been printed as
written ; sometimes strange names like Autre (i.e. Ottery),
Sebaru (i.e. Seaburrow), have been successfully identified ;
sometimes a conjecture is offered (with ?) ; but frequently
the name remains obscure. It must be remembered that
these names were taken down by a Bedell from the lips of an
uncouth boy who pronounced in his county dialect, and often
gave the name of a hamlet or manor as his native place, all
trace of which has since disappeared from maps and records.

admitted to practise medicine 30 June, 1618. Nomi-
nated by the Foundress as Dean in 1613, Bursar in 1614
and 1617, and succeeded William Smith as Sub- Warden
24 March 161f. After the death of the Foundress
he was elected Sub- Warden 1620, 1627, 1630: Dean

completed eighteen years as JF. he was " amotus virtute

furniture of which together with that of its three Studies
he gave to the College in 1631.
He was of the parish of Ulfculme, Devon. He subsequently
became Gresham Professor of Rhetoric (6 Nov. 1638), and
Warden of Lord Northampton's (Trinity) Hospital at Green-
wich, where he died in November, 1654, bequeathing property
to the College for the foundation of Exhibitions, &c. His Will
is dated 25 Nov. and proved 9 Dec. 1654. The account of his
funeral charges dated 29 Nov. 1654, is among the Wardens
MSS., and the accounts of his estate were audited 26 Mar.
1655. Certain questions having arisen as to the meaning of
his Will, they were settled in the Wardenship of Ironsyde,
30 July, 1668 ; and the following sentence is prefixed to the
decision. " Hseres est eadein persona in jure cum defuncto et
jure voluntatem Testatoris (? declarat) ; et tenet declaratio per
hseredem facta quando alteris non est damnosa neque tendit ad
proprium commodum." Further, an appeal was made in 1718
to the " Four Wardens of the Mercers' Company in London,"
who by a clause in John Goodridge's Will, were appointed to
determine its meaning ; and they decided that in the election
of Exhibitioners the Warden should have two votes, and if
thereby there was an equal number of votes, and it was not
agreed before sunset that he should make such choice for that
turn as he should think fit (3 Oct. 1718). His portrait is in
the Warden's Lodgings, and in the Hall.

20 June, lb'31, he was "amotus," having completed
eighteen years as JF. (see under Goodridge).
Wood says he was of Christow, Devon. He was instituted
Kector of Maiden Newton, Dorset, 1638 ; was sequestered but
survived the Restoration, and was restored to his living ; but
it was vacant in 1661 by Osborne's death, when he was suc-
ceeded by William Huish, see 1641. The Parish Register
contains the following entry : " Mr. Osborne, M.A., who was
unjustly turned out by the Rumpish Triers, and afterwards
restored by the just hand of Providence. Mr. Brumhall, his
base and unworthy successor, put in by yt scandalous party
and turned out by God Almighty." (Hutchins, II. 689.)

He was nominated first Bursar in 1613, and again
1615; and was elected Catechist 1618 and Bursar
1619. He preached the sermon in Latin at the con-
secration of the chapel 29 April, 1613. On 20 July,
1613, he signed the stipulation for Battels on behalf of
four pupils. On 10 Oct. 1627, he was deprived of his
JF* because he confessed that he was possessed of an
annual pension of 40. He had already (26 April, 1627)
appealed to Laud, then Bishop of Bath and Wells, the
Visitor of the College, to determine the matter, who
summoned the Warden and some of the Fellows to
London ; but when they appeared, Harington was absent,
having returned to Oxford with a Commission granted
by the King to examine witnesses upon oath ; where-
upon the Visitor suspended his Jf. till his cause was

tried, for which the hearing was fixed for 10 Jan. at the
Bishop's house at Westminster. Meanwhile in a letter
of 10 Dec. 1627, the Visitor informs the Society that
his statement that he had obtained the Commission with
the Visitor's consent is " altogether untrue, and that the
King in accordance with the Bishop's request has
graciously recalled the Commission, and is not well
pleased that he should be abused by an illgrounded
petition " ; meanwhile Harington's suspension is taken
off. When the case came to be heard Harington pleaded
that he had received a dispensation from the Foundress
to retain his JF, in spite of his pension, and produced
Fellows, Pytt, Payton, Osborne, Goodridge, and Brouncker
(Jan. 14, 16-f-|), who declared that James (Mountague),
Bishop of Bath and Wells had signified the same to
Warden Flemmyng by letters (which letters Harington
seems to have accused Warden Smith of destroying) ;
further the Foundress had nominated him Bursar after
he acquired the property by the death of his uncle.
Finally the Visitor decided that the presumption was in
Harington's favour, arid restored him to his JF., but re-
quired him to make his submission to the Warden, and
fined him twenty marks in accordance with the request
of the Warden and Fellows, who state that their pro-
ceedings against Mr. Harington " have been without
spleen," but desire that the Visitor will at any rate
award that Harington pay the College charges,
amounting to 23 6s. 2d. And in a letter of 30 Jan.
16f|-, the Bishop gives his reasons for the punishment,
and gently suggests that documents of importance should
be more carefully preserved. On 22 Feb. 16f|-, the Warden
notifies the Visitor that Harington is still obstinate, and
on 31 March, 1628, the Warden notifies the Visitor that
Harington still refuses to make the required submission,
and is uttering threats against the Visitor; this was
followed by a letter of apology from Harington (1 April)
with promise of submission, but on 16 April the Warden
writes again that Harington has not satisfactorily com-
plied with the Visitor's orders, and encloses the evidence
of Goodridge and Escott as to Harington's violent
language. On 21 April Harington again wrote to the
Visitor to obtain a remission of a part of his penalty.
8 WARDEN WRIGHT. [1613.
(State Papers, Domestic. Sub anno.) Harington how-
ever appears to have persisted in reviling the Fellows
generally, and the Warden in particular, so that on
1 Aug. 1629, he was deprived of all the advantages of
his jK for six months. On 12 July, 1631, he was
" amotus " having completed his eighteen years.
It appears from a MS. in the College of Arms tliat he was
fourth son of Sir James Harington of Bidlington, Rutland.
His brother, Sir Edward Harington married Margery, daughter
and coheiress of John D'Oyley of Merton, Oxon. ; while her
sister Ann married Sir Thomas Gower of Stittenham, for
whose son "Tom" see the Fellow Commoners of 1616, where
there is a reference to your "unkell Harrington." He was
still unmarried in 1634.

elected 1620. On 15 July, 1613, he signed the

2 Dec. 1617, he obtained the Foundress' permission to
travel for three years, and enjoy all the benefits of his
Jf. He resigned his Jf. 14 Dec. 1621, and before 1623
married Jane, daughter of Thomas Hussey of Shapwick
(Visitation).
He was third son of Christopher Anketill of East Aimer and
Stour Provost ; and was baptised at St. James, Shaftesbury,
17 March, 1587. Rector of Mells, Somerset, and Prebendary
of Wells, 13 April, 1639. He took a prominent part in the
Civil War ; was Governor of Corfe Castle for the king, and
was known among the Roundheads as " Colonel Anketell, the
Priest and malignant Doctor." He is said to have died
before the Restoration. He appears to have been in some
points the original of Dr. Rochecliffe in Scott's Woodstock.

proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury, 17 July,
1646. He served as Proctor in 1624; "for the election
of which Proctors was the greatest canvas (as 'twas
thought) in the memory of man." There were four
candidates, and Estcot headed the poll (which was kept
open till after nine at night), with 255 votes (see Wood's

Philip Hill. On 2 April, 1614, there is a letter nominating
him to the first vacant ,>., being grandson of Dr. Bisse
(the founder of the library). On 27 June, 1614, he was
appointed to fill the vacancy created by Huish's election
to Harris' Jf., " if ready," which he presumably was, as
he has leave of absence on 20 July, 1616. His name
occurs twice in the fH. books, 3 Nov. 1615, P. H.
(Somerset. Stse. Theol. Doct. fil. set. 13), and 8 Nov,

called &i)aplatlt, which office he probably held 25 May,
1618, when he received mourning on the death of the

he was living in one of the Chaplain's Chambers in
1620. On 4 Aug. 1620, we find Timothy Basil Rector
of Fryerning, Essex ; but he resigned, and was succeeded
by Warden Smith, 18 Sept. 1620. He had ceased to be

infancy followed the studdie of letters as he hath
atteyned to the degree of Maister in Artes," to a
Fellowship whenever any Fellow's place shall be void ;
"notwithstanding anie thing in your statutes to the
contrarie." The College in two successive letters,
29 Nov. 1618, and 3 Jan. 16^f, begged the . interference
of William, Earl of Pembroke, Lord Chamberlain of
the King's Household, and Chancellor of the University;
in the first they point out that William Durham is in-
eligible under the Statutes, and send therewith two of
the Fellows to explain ; in the second they set out the
legal objections at length. A portion of a narrative in
Latin of the attempt of " William Durham, the Scot,"
to obtain a Fellowship is among the College MSS., from
48 WARDEN SMITH. [1618.
which it appears that William Durham was "Andrea-
politanus," and that as the King had himself altered the
words, " Kingdom of England " to " Kingdom of Great
Britain " in the Statutes, it was feared that he might be
angered by the refusal of the College to admit a Scot.
The narrative is not finished : but it is clear that the
attempt was not successful.
